  1. So Dicks is having a 30% off ending tonight. Got the white adidas sideline polo for $52.50. No other adidas stuff but not bad if you wanted to pick up the polo with a discount.
  2. Some real Big J journalism by the stampede there. If they are wrong they need to apologize to the kid. I used to like their site, but their personalities, takes, and tone became a bit much for me.
  3. Did the fee go away or did they find another fee to replace it? I honesty don’t know, but know that it’s rare in fees, tax, etc. for it to truly go away. Instead they are normally renamed, reassigned, etc
  4. I want an OCS as much as anyone, but I always find it interesting when someone says “The fee would go away, but the stadium would stay.” Does anyone believe we would give up revenue that is basically accepted once the bonds are paid? We need to have a true fundraising effort for a stadium. If that’s successful and students feel they want to pitch in (more than then large % they already do today) then maybe that’s ok.
  5. Always knew we lacked donors didn’t realize how bad it was. Blame on both ends. Athletics outreach and alumni proactively reaching out to give something. Sad, but as a department and alumni base (not those on here) we have to collectively piss or get off the pot.
  6. Surprise ... https://twitter.com/usfbulls_rivals/status/960639288768696320
  7. He’s gonna be good. I’m no expert, but if RB doesn’t work out I think Charlie found a LB
  8. So Usf gets more $ if we buy stuff? Sounds good!
  9. They were tracking an Arkansas plane today and it was in Clearwater, likely Harlan.
  10. Doesn’t Adidas own Reebok? Either way, they are no Nike, but a step up from UA.
  11. In my opinion this is a good thing. Adidas>UA. UA is struggling to perform as a company, sneakers haven’t picked up like they’d like, and kids (recruits/players) prefer Adidas to UA. Also, if we are changing there has to be more $. Obviously Nike is king, but I’m fine with this.
  12. Agree. It’s primarily scheme and blocking, however, you also wonder if it stood out on tape and new coaches in conf noticed
  13. Kicker is slow too ... accurate kicker, but he is slow to the ball and winds up
  14. Basically just said they are good at home ... cocaine is a hell of a drug
  15. I was there too. In the early 2000’s until the most recent administrations, I would agree. We were stealth and calculated, while they needed to put on a big show to get noticed and in my opinion rushes their stadium, etc. However, we didn’t capitalize enough on our early success and relied on the nostalgia of the “good ol’ days” and “sleeping giant” of young program. Our past admin gave bad contracts, did little to stabilize the programs, and burnt bridges with the community. The current one doesn’t seem to understand the culture and is not nearly as agreesive or proactive as we need. I’m sure I’m not 100% right, but TODAYS Admin of UCF is rubbing circles around USFs. And in college athletics lately is all that matters, especially since we don’t have history to sell.
  16. That is the most frustrating part ... not a lot of action
  17. This pains me to say, but UCF seems to have a much better run athletic department. Aside from the stadium fiasco, which is was not this admin. They are fundraising, building facilities, etc. This is their latest football specific fundraising. http://ucfknights.com/news/2017/10/17/football-excellence-fund-campaign.aspx
  18. The positive is we are ranked in top 15 and top 20 and control our destiny for New Years Six Bowl. Let the hacks and their opinions get zero clicks. Do I think we can beat teams ahead of us? Absolutely. I would have loved to smack around Wisconsin and Michigan State this year.
  19. It’s not age discrimination and their offer isn’t solely alumni based (although it will be the majority of takers). Either way we don’t have to literally copy it, but could adapt the methodology to years post graduation and or age based tickets. I like the age as an option because it offers the opportunity for non-alumn (military, community college, University of Tampa, etc.) to buy tix as their life and income progress. I know for a fact that at 22 I struggled to afford season tickets at regular price. Many times got companion tix, scalped, used a friends student ID, etc. At a price around $100 I would have made the plunge easily.
  20. Everyone talks about a gradual increase for younger alumn. Oregon has an interesting concept for basketball season tix http://bit.ly/2xvsWcQ https://www.addictedtoquack.com/2017/10/10/16454544/oregon-basketball-unveils-brilliant-season-ticket-plan-aimed-at-younger-fans
  21. Just for comparison Texas vs Iowa State did 1.65 million this past Thursday and Miami vs Duke did 1.72 million this past Friday. So 65-70% better ...
  22. I just completed this quiz. My Score 25/100 My Time 164 seconds
  23. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 107 seconds
